My sister hit this with a mower in Holiday Beach. For bonus points, name the weeds.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
A couple of tiny snakes uncovered during some land clearing. Not much longer than earthworms.
I didn't get a pic, but I had a hognose in my flower beds as I was doing yard work this past weekend. I got my boys (6 and 3) outside to look at him and they really enjoyed his "cobra head" and the hissing. He was safely relocated to the woods across the street.
The mrs. found two texas brown snakes in our flowerbeds over the weekend. Thanks to the 2017 snake thread and the identification of the texas brown she encountered last year as her ally in the war on slugs she did not lop off any heads. She got me to retrieve the one she had managed to scoop up and into a yard bag. Both snakes were simply relocated away from the area she was working in but remained inside our flowerbeds in order to eat the slugs.
Nice to see the thread is doing its job...

I laughed at the other part of this story that is fake, and wasn't addressed in the article.

Hard to reference size but 5.5' is a big snake.

Tell me about it. I killed a 6.5'er in the same location years ago

You mean calling what's obviously not a copperhead a copperhead?
I think those are brahminy blind snakes.

Nope
It needs to meet a shovel 
I'd call those native Texas blind snakes
Saw this little guy dart into a flowerbed off the sidewalk as I was getting back from dinner, and caught it. My ring for scale, and it is like a size 9 ring, so not really big.

Saw this guy while mowing over the weekend.
Good looking Texas Cobra! Awesome coloration
Let's see if I have been learnededed properly. Texas Cobra = Hognose?

Yep
Can someone confirm? I'm thinking checkered garter.
Texas Brown
I thought so too. I had another one in my yard last weekend, but the coloration was much more dull. So much so that at first, I was unsure if it was a cottonmouth because his head was under some bushes.
Thanks. That was my second guess.ttha_aggie_09 said:

Hognoses have a very wide range of coloration from nearly solid black to heavily patterned as above, to reddish...

This is also a brown snake but more vividly colored and younger than the one a few posts up.

Did it get removed? I'd like to see it.
Click on the caption at the bottom. I'm having problems getting insta photos to load right. It's a photo of 15+ rattlers plus a king snake or two and a rat snake or two. Pretty brutal
Got it, thanks. All rattlesnakes and one coachwhip.
